heise+ | Im Test: Mini-PC-Barebone Gigabyte BRIX mit Intels neuem N150

Intel hat die Billigprozessoren der Baureihe "N" überarbeitet. Gigabyte lötet den N100-Nachfolger N150 in einen Mini-PC-Barebone. Wir messen, was das bringt.

Again on this topic, "of a Mini PCs vs". Currently, with an #AMR CPUs isn’t cost-effective, the board alone costs as much as a #MiniPC with an #AMD R5 5600H. Even the #Intel N150 is a better option since it’s ready to use out of the box, whereas #SBC require additional accessories, driving up the total cost.

What's the point of building a budget PC today? The costs are now so high that they no longer offer savings, in fact, potential problems and time invested become an added expense. I tried building the cheapest PC possible, but it ended up being more expensive than a #miniPC with better performance. The #DIY #PC era is dead! #desktop

As of today, while the #RISCV architecture is interesting, purchasing an SBC for home use as a desktop PC is not convenient—there are only problems. Their performance is still insufficient, and their prices are not yet competitive. For the same performance, a mini PC with an (Intel Celeron N CPU, 8 GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Ethernet, HDMI, etc.), costs much less than the most powerful RISC-V board on the market, and it’s not comparable in terms of comfort to a #miniPC.
